The USGenWeb Census Project

Started in February, 1997, The USGenWeb Census Project is an all-volunteer project to transcribe census records in a standard format in order to make them available to genealogical researchers on the Internet.

A copy of every transcription is submitted to the USGenWeb Archives. The USGenWeb Archives provides a searchable genealogical and historical database to the general public free of charge. It is intended that this material not be used in a commercial manner. All submissions become part of the permanent collection.
